Welcome to Mrs. Benkendorf's Page.  I am starting my first year as a teacher but have worked with special needs children for the past 10 years. I am excited to be back at EHS after being in Douglas County for the last 3 years. I have been married to my husband Paul for 25 years and we have 3 daughters and (1 son in law), 3 have graduated from EHS (2018,2019,2021) and my youngest is a senior here this year. I was born in Canada but have lived in Colorado since I was 7. I love spending time with my family and friends and you can almost always find us at any sporting event here at the high school, especially during basketball and track seasons.  This year I will have two  learning support classes for students who need additional support as well as co-teaching Lit 100 and Lit 200.
